Is investing in Myrtle Beach a good idea?

[Liridon Fetahu]

I am considering buying a property in the Myrtle beach area since it seems like it’s an affordable are with good cash flowing properties but it seems like the crime rate is above the national average. I noticed that these statistics are based on Myrtle beach only which has about 37k population and does not include the broader Myrtle beach Metro area which has about 410k population. It seems to me that the statistics are skewed since if the entire Myrtle Beach Metro are were to be taken into account the crime rate would actually be way below national average. Any thoughts or does anyone here have investments in Myrtle Beach?
